I like WebOS but I DO NOT like the hardware...I have had to replace the handset three times, but Sprint never charged me for the swaps. The other advantage to the Sprint plan I have is that it makes me a "premiere" member so I can upgrade my phone every 12 months instead of every two years at the new customer rate as long as I extend my contract for two years. I've been with Sprint for 9 years and have never had a problem with their customer service. I am switching to either the HTC EVO or a Blackberry in August.

How do you know if you're a premiere member?? We have all of the options you listed above on 5 phones on our account and they won't let me upgrade until February, which is 22 months since I bought my last phone. My current one (LG Lotus) is super chewed up from Enzo so I seriously cannot wait. I wanted the Palm Pre for the longest time, but now I'm really wanting a BlackBerry for the BBM.

BBM rules!!!!!

I heard the other day that there is an app that you can download on an iPhone so that you can be added to others' BBM lists (via either email or text, I can't remember which one).

I've played with it and really like it. I have always had an LG or BlackBerry so Motorola is all new.

My sister and her hubby just switched to Verizon and got Droids smart phones (3G but I don't know if it's the X) she loves it but she also had a 5 year old Nextel/Sprint phone so big change for her.

I love my little Razor, nothing fancy but then again I only use it for the phone and not that often. I am not a big phone person to begin with. I really don't want a "big" phone, Blackberrys have NO appeal for me. And I don't want the first generation of anything.... there are always bugs to be worked out.

I'd just be happy with a phone that doesn't have teeth marks in it. lol

I have the Droid X, it is worth the wait. You'll love it.

Enzo's mom, you are a Sprint premiere member if you have an account in good standing and an individual base rate plan that is $69.99 per month or a family base rate plan that is $99.99 per month, or if you have been a customer for at least 10 years. Only the primary phone on the account is eligible for early upgrade. Perhaps the primary line on your account has had a new phone in the past year??? If not I would check with a Sprint corporate store (not the kiosks in the mall).

Sprint | Premier

I've been on the waiting list for the HTC EVO since my post on this thread and I am still waiting, so I reserved one of the new Samsung Epic phones (similar phone as the Galaxy S that has been released to other carriers). I will be picking up my Epic tomorrow as I have one reserved for release day.

Since my last post I had to take my Pre in for the fourth time due to hardware issues. Sprint swapped it for a refurbished model but over the weekend it went bad. I would advise avoiding the Pre.

For anyone on Verizon. Literally days after posting on here about my BB I started having major technical issues with it and went into my local Verizon store and switched over to a Android phone. I got the LG Ally and love Droid. I havent been having any web problems like I did with my BB and most of the bloatware that comes on the phone isnt horrible its nothing dumb like NFL Scores and stuff like that just the usual FB MySpace crap that I dont even use so its not activated or anything.

The apps available for a Droid are awesome and there are tons of free ones available. Im attempting to patiently wait for the Froyo (Android 2.2) update to hit the Allys so Ill be able to save apps to my SD card and the other cool things this update will allow the Droid phones to do. I know the Ally is being called the 'red headed step child of Droid' but all in all its a good phone. Its less bulky than the Droid 2 or original Droid still has a Querty keyboard and does the same stuff as a 'real droid'. Plus its cheap I think its on sale right now either $50 or BOGO for their back to school specials.

It's a great phone, my husband always kids and asks if I'm going to sleep with it under my pillow. The Key Ring app is pretty neat, you can scan all of your rewards cards (such as Petco and Petsmart cards) into your phone so you don't need to carry them any more. I LOVE my phone lol.
